However they’re not a panacea - only certain console revisions are supported, some chips need to be soldered to the console and, with the company being a one-man operation, the products are extremely scarce.

Hardcore gamers who miss titles like Panzer Dragoon Saga and Power Stone may want to perform life-saving surgery on their Sega Saturn or Dreamcast consoles this summer, as a new solution will be able to replace dead disc drives, with no soldering skills needed. As their optical drives burn out, they’re rendered unplayable, which is a shame - these systems were the peak of gaming in the eyes of many. Classic disc-based consoles are getting long in the tooth.
